Like it, or Doubt it?

Like-accumulate posters spread overall Facebook

 　　The trend of like-accumulate picture grows stronger these days. I feel annoyed of seeing post of photo that shows “if this post receives over 50,000 likes, I will do something.”  Shall we be SO positive to have a clear announcement that we will do some good deeds, like deliver curry rice for free? I want to know the motivation and whether they fulfill the declarations.

　　Thus, I added one of the publishers on Facebook and asked her some questions. She is mother of a seven-year-old girl. The girl brawls her parents to buy a bike for her; the negotiation of the parents is: if the photo get 50,000 likes, they would buy her a bike.

　　Amazingly, they got over 70,000 likes over a night. According to the interviewee, her daughter obtained a bike as wished. However, she said that they would still buy the bike even if the post didn’t get 50,000 likes. The interviewee also stated that she had helped other’s like-accumulation: it’s a proposal post and she thought it was boring. Another interviewee, a male student from NCU, thought the current of these like-accumulate articles is kind of sensationalism. “It is like a breast-baring accident of second-rate entertainer,” he added.

　　Whether the statement is true or too exaggerated, their words reflect the perspective of the crowd. Though people help the publisher they don’t know, they had doubt or keep a reserved attitude to them. Like-accumulate picture may let others have negative impact; it is better to do something about a problem than just talk about it. We have to improve our living quality via actions, not just post a declaration on Facebook.
